Hartwick Pines State Park, located just northeast of Grayling, is seeking volunteer hosts for the newly reopened Memorial Building this summer.

Participating hosts will have the privilege of camping for free at Hartwick Pines State Park campground and presenting programs and leading tours at the historic Memorial Building.

The host schedule is designed to allow time to enjoy recreational activities on your own while providing valuable volunteer services.

The Memorial Building — a rustic, lodge-style building that was completed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and served as the park’s visitor center until 1994 — is a popular landmark in the park.

The program will take place from May 19 through Oct. 31. Hosts are asked to participate for between a week and a month.

The Hartwick Pines Memorial Building Host Program application period is open through Feb. 29.
